Touya and Yukito started to get worried. Where was she? It wasn't like her to not go to the place she would go everytime she went away. Slowly Touya pulled the reigns of his horse and headed back to the Market place. "You don't think something happened to her, right?" Yukito asked as they hurriedly rode back.
"I hope not...." Touya said as he had a serious look on his face. Wondering if he came for her.

CHAPTER 2
BY: LIL DUDETTE
The sky was getting dark. Touya's horse galloped through the village square. He hoped that no one touched her, or someone will pay. Wondering where she was, Touya and Yukito got off the horse and began to search the area. ".....you don't think...." Yukito said with a worried expression on his face wondering if it was true.
"Sakura!" Touya yelled out as he began to walk around the market place leaving his horse and Yukito behind.
She heard her name being called by a familiar voice. "Touya?" she asked herself quietly. A smile formed on her face as she ran towards the exit of the alleyway, but still remembering the situation, she ran.
"Brother!" Her peasant raggedy skirt was dragging on the ground while she stepped on it, but she really didn't care.
Touya saw his little sister coming towards him, and he ran towards her too, with a smile on his face.
When both were embraced in a hug, tears came from Sakura's eyes. 'Why is she crying? We only got seperated for a while...' he thought as she looked at her. "Monster, why are you crying?" he asked feeling the wet tears on his skin.
"This scary looking man was being mean to me..." she said as she cried out more tears.
"What man?"
"This ugly looking man......with. He was mean to me..."
Touya then froze, hoping that the man didn't dare do anything to her. He made her look up to him, to ask the question he would surely wouldn't have to bring up. "Did he ask if you were ma's daughter?" he asked while he hope he didn't.
"Yes...." she looked at him, wondering why he would ask that. "Why?" she asked as his face paled.
Touya didn't even bother to answer his question. "Sakura, we gotta go home!" he said as he picked her up and placed her on his horse. He then got on. "Yukito, go get Aunt Sonomi and Tomoyo!" he said out as he galloped away.
Yukito nodded, knowing the time has come.
"Crap. Sakura, hold on." Sakura wondered what was going on, she then made her grip more tighter around Touya's torso as he made his horse gallop faster. Feeling the cold wind against her skin, she loved it, but something was wrong. 'He doesn't make his horse go fast unless something was wrong.' But she shook the thought away and tried to hold on tight.
Yukito ran towards a brown village house and knocked rapidly against the door. "Daidouji!" he yelled out as he banged on the door. The door opened. There stood a girl with black hair and amethyst eyes wearing a dark purple peasant dress, holding a light purple droopy bunny. "What is it, Tsukishiro?" Seeing that he was worried.
"Where is your mama, Daidouji?" he asked rather eagerly.
Tomoyo, who just got out of bed, wondered what was going on. "Um, she's in kitchen, .." she said as she let him through the house.
Sonomi was humming to herself as she was holding a wooden bowl filled with chopped carrots. Not noticing that Yukito was behind her, she turned around to go to the fireplace when she heard.
"Daidouji, the time has come."
Suddenly Sonomi dropped the bowl, hearing a big thud, and carrots spread across the floor. "My goodness! Tomoyo!" she yelled out as she ran out of the kitchen.
"Yes, mama..." Tomoyo said still clutching onto her purple bunny. "Tonight, we'll be staying at Sakura's house. So pack your things."
"OK!" she smiled brightly and happily ran to her room.
A man with short unruly white hair and brown eyes, walked down on a read thick carpet that led up to a large golden door, with a Samurai Symbol engraved in black. He signaled the guards to open the door.
Inside of the room was a throne and many guards beside the red carpet. Everything seemed too perfect. There was no dirt, dust, or smudges. Nothing even had a speck, the floor was spick and span, the guards also looked clean and well trained, as they kept their faces forward.
The man with unruly white hair and brown eyes, stopped in front of the throne. "King Lian, Queen Yelan." he bowed and looked at them with a serious face.
"Yes, Wei." the King said with a husky voice as he wondered why he has come.
"Your Highness. I have some urgent news, there was a report that an illegitimate child has been living in your Kingdom."
"What!" King Lian said as he rose to his feet, hating the news.
Since the King Lian likes perfection, they didn't want any mistakes in their kingdom. Yelan looked at him with a worried expression on her face, knowing that the next command he will do, is going to be tragic. She hated when he wanted everything to be perfect, but she loved him. But, hey, everybody has some bad points.
Wei then gave a paper and pen to his king, and elegantly walked out of the throne room.
"Guards, bring me my horse and my Son. I forbid of these actions! Also, bring forth the person who has told us the news and reward him."
"Ma!" Touya yelled out as he helped Sakura off his horse. Their house was a small square cottage, that had some wood that looked kind of bad. The outside had a small garden and a tiny little well and a small bucket.
"Ma! Pa! Come!" he yelled out as he looked for them. Sakura stood there wondering why her brother was looking for them. He was yelling his head off scaring her.
"Touya, what's with all the noise?" his father, Fujitaka asked as he wiped his glasses.
"Pa, he asked her."
Fujitaka stared wide-eye and went back into the house. "Touya, you called Sonomi right?" he asked as Touya trailed behind, while Sakura behind him.
"Sakura, go to your room, and stay there. Don't come down, until I call you. Keep it lock." he said with a serious tone in his voice. Sakura nodded.
'What's going on?'
Sonomi quickly ran towards the Kinomoto's house. While Tomoyo was being carried and she held a bag in her hands. "O dear Lord, please help us..." The dark hair woman begged.
"Mama.....?" Tomoyo asked herself as she held on to her bunny.
Sonomi and Tomoyo arrived at the cousin's houme.
She knocked. No answer. Sonomi opened the door, while she carried a small bag and Tomoyo trailing behind. "Fujitaka? Nadeshiko?" she putted Tomoyo down and walked around.
She found them in their kitchen and they looking serious. Fujitaka was standing pacing around the room, while he had his glasses in his hands. Touya was looking out their kitchen window, and still wasn't wearing a shirt. Nadeshiko had tears in her eyes crying them out.
"Hey...."
"Sonomi!"
Nadeshiko raced to her and cried on her shoulder. "He's going to tell!" she yelled out.
"But Nadeshiko-"
"They won't believe us"
"You're-"
"They won't listen!"
Sonomi couldn't help but wonder when she will stop. She knew he was going to tell, but there is a way that they wouldn't take her away. If they listened. Since they can be totally obsessed with such things, since they had seen such things before.
"Sakura....." Tomoyo said with joy as she opened a door.
She found Sakura by the window looking out. "Sakura...."
The honey brown hair peasant turned around as she heard her name. She smiled. "Hey Tomoyo!"
Tomoyo happily hugged her. "Guess what?! I'm sleeping over! yay!" Tomoyo said in joy as the two started to talk and joke around. Both were smiling and enjoying each other's company. Sakura took out one of her stuff animals. It was a baby pink horse, similar to Tomoyo's, since they both received it as gifts from a certain someone. Or people.
Behind the happiness, smiles, joy, and company Sakura can't help know that something was going on.
But what could it be?
King Lian was furious. Who in his Kingdom would break the rules? Everyone had to obey, no mistakes were allowed in his kingdom. He was going to make sure of that.
As he rode his horse out towards the marketplace, some soldiers of his accompanied him. They were wearing a Silver Suite of Armor, with their swords in their hands. A dirty wagon was trailing behind them as a horse was attached being the source of the pull. And him and his son, Syaoran (A.N. only his dad call him Xiao Lang), was in the front.
King Lian then signaled to one of his soldiers to one of his people to ask for directions.
"Father where are we going?" Syaoran asked as they were being watched as they went through the market place.
"To clean up a mess" he said gruffly as they continued their way to their destination.
The sky was getting dark, night time was approaching. "We need to tell the truth" The auburn hair man said as he placed some food on the table. Touya sat down next to the food. "They won't listen." The boy said while he just showed anger. "Sometimes the truth can never be enough." Touya said as he made his way to the stairs. "I'm going up. Better think of something..." he stated as he quietly walked away.
Nadeshiko, Sonomi, and Fujitaka stared at him as he went away, knowing he was right. Their King was sometimes never fair and never did listen to what his people had to say. But let the truth be told.
Touya went up the stairs and went to his and Sakura's room. There he found Tomoyo and Sakura asleep. Why would anyone be asleep this early? He quietly walked to them, and he then lit a candle. He first picked up Tomoyo and placed her on their only bed. He placed her purple bunny under her arm. Then he went to Sakura and picked her up and placed her next to Tomoyo, and getting her pink bunny afterwards.
He remembered the bunnies. She was happy when she got it. Touya gently pushed Sakura's bangs away from her face. He loved her so, and won't let anything stop him, from protecting her.
Syaoran looked at the house. It didn't really look stabled, and it seemed a rotten place to live. "What a shameful place to live, don't you think father?" he said in an elegant voice. 'bullshit' he thought. Syaoran only spoke that way, since his family brought him up to it, but secretly didn't want to talk like it at all.
"Yes, my son. It is never to be good, to be poor." he said with a stupid smile on his face.
"We're here, your Highness." a soldier said as they came to a broken up home and burning light inside.
"Open, the door..." the King said with satisfaction in his voice. The Soldiers hurriedly went to the door and kicked it open. Screaming and yells were heard.
Syaoran listened with no expression in his face.
